Real estate is considered an “ecosystem” of the economy as it creates demand and drives the development of hundreds of other industries. According to experts, the trend of real estate expansion and development is expected to continue at least until 2025, when Vietnam will have basically completed industrialization and entered sustainable, in-depth development.
The labor market shows that the real estate sector still faces shortages and weaknesses. There is a shortage because there are not enough human resources to meet the sector’s expansion and development needs. There is a weakness because many civil engineers graduate without sufficient knowledge of economics, management, and investment, while business professionals often lack technical knowledge, construction technology, and the ability to analyze and evaluate real estate investment options.
To meet the urgent demand for high-quality human resources, the National University of Civil Engineering (NUCE) annually admits 50 students into the Real Estate Economics and Management program from three subject combinations: A00 (Math – Physics – Chemistry), A01 (Math – Physics – English), and D07 (Math – Chemistry – English). The program aims to train engineers who are proficient in analyzing and evaluating real estate investment options, managing and operating real estate projects, and marketing to both domestic and international clients. Recent admission scores ranged from 14.75 to 17.00 points.
Duration: The program is credit-based with a duration of 4.5 years. Students may shorten the study period if they enroll in extra courses.
Degree awarded: Bachelor of Engineering in Construction Management.
